Proverbs 17:9
He who covers over an offense promotes love, but whoever repeats the matter separates close friends.
What of Today’s Verse…
“It’s just a little harmless gossip.” The Wise Teacher reminds us that gossip is neither little or harmless. Its consequences are huge and its damage horrible. Instead, it is much better to be a peacemaker and an offense mender.
Let us Pray:
Father of Glory, I confess that I am often more a peace lover than a peacemaker. Give me the character not to repeat gossip and instead have the wisdom and strength to be an offense mender. Through the Prince of Peace I pray. Amen.

Divine Order
I see God’s higher order unfolding in every situation.
As young children learn their alphabet and numbers, they become excited about what they’ve learned. They are joyful as they begin to understand more about the world around them and how it works.
I look forward to learning new ways of thinking and being that enrich my life. I look with childlike eyes at all that is happening and see God’s higher order unfolding in every situation. I strive for deeper understanding based on Truth rather than appearances.
Like A-B-C and 1-2-3, I know that in all life’s situations, divine order is operating. Today’s challenges will lead to new meaning and purpose. I remain open and receptive to life’s lessons, gaining a new level of understanding and awareness.
“Think over what I say, for the Lord will give you understanding in all things.”–2 Timothy 2:7
